Well, the founder was involved with Jeffrey Epstein:

Of course it is!
Because all the other companies are using fat girls to model sexy underwear too!
He wasn’t happy being with his own models?
from what I saw of those ads, it will do permanent harm to the company’s sales in regions they were used.
everyone will have a reason to explain sales drop, but it won’t be that reason.
shareholders nominally should resist, but funds (mutual and pension) own most shares. they aren’t voting against this slate.
The is some truth to this. Shopping malls have gone by the wayside since they became thug paradises. That said, VS ruined their brand with the big and fat focus and the tranny emphasis. That fashion show was mostly liked by guys and that was a big draw for the VS. Tubbies and fake women ruined it. Guys needed barf bags to watch that.
Spot on.
Riding fashion trends is like riding a tiger.
Even if you get it right for a while, when trends change, you will be left in the cold.
The Woke can never be satisfied.
It’s best to not even try.
Yeah, competition.
Those overweight models just couldn’t compete.....................
Hmmmm... Would, "tongue in cheek" be the wrong expression to use at this point..??
In my long and unillustrious life, I have seen W.T. Grant and Woolworth's overtaken by K-Mart and Sears, who were overtaken by Wal-Mart and Costco, who are being overtaken by Amazon and Wish/Temu. If I keep losing weight, I may live long enough to see who overtakes Amazon.
Even after a thousand companies get woke and go broke the “experts” will still be in denial.
I used to have a Victoria’s Secret card.
One day, when I was 43, I bicycled to the mall to buy a “semi modest” negligee for my soon to be bride. I was wearing my typical bicycle clothing - spandex. That was really stupid, and embarrassing.
The entire time I was there I had to hold my helmet in front of my crotch. I did get 28 phone numbers, though. 🤣
VS may be going down the tubes because it’s being out-played by the competition, but I don’t see how advertising with unattractive models is supposed to help - to me, that sounds like trying to draw people back to the mall by playing a cacophony of noise and static on the ubiquitous speakers instead of whatever one considers pleasant background music.
Regards,
Creative destruction is real, but rock stupid woke marketing and advertising folks put gasoline on the fire.
